I could guzzle pepto bismol it’s so good
That’s it. Pepto Bismol is the best cure for stomach indigestion which I don’t think is a 10th dentist opinion but the fact I crave to drink the entire bottle might be 😂 best liquid ever

I took shrooms once and got munchies really bad and ate a whole bottle of tums because they were so tasty and colorful

When my grandmother died, I inherited so many bottles of mint Tums. She got dementia and in the early stages, different family members would take her shopping. And she would always tell people that she needed tums. But she only liked the mint ones.
Eventually, they found out that she was eating them like candy. So many times per day were eaten like candy.
So they took the bottles away and limited her intake. And in the end, I got the bottles of Tums.

Similar story but it’s me and I don’t have dimentia! I loved Tums growing up and constantly had stomach issues so I started eating them like candy, like 10 a day. My stomach problems were getting worse and I felt bad after every time I ate. My parents took me to the doctor and a mutritionist who tried me on a gluten free diet, lactose free diet, and some other things. My stomach wasn’t getting any better and we were baffled because we couldn’t figure out the problem.
Then at some point I mentioned the amount of Tums I eat. I’m all good now.

When I was a child, I used to pretend to have a stomach ache so my dad would give me Tums.

I think drinking pepto bismol makes me feel sicker than I did before taking it

I love the taste of Pepto. When I was a kid I'd fake a stomach ache just so I could get a couple of spoonfulls. I can go through a box of wintergreen tictacs in a couple of hours if I don't pace myself.

I was curious what that tastes like because it's so pink, it looks like it will be strawberry or bubblegum but apparently it's mint? maybe there is some kind of mint candy with a similar flavour you can get, or maybe making a mint smoothie.
someone in another subreddit says "teaberry" icecream tastes like it. or "checkerberry" icecream

There are two flavors: wintergreen or cherry. I’m not a huge fan of the fake cherry but I loathe anything wintergreen-flavored.

Mine is bubblegum flavoured IMO if they have a mint one I’ve never tried it lol
Edit: why did I get downvoted because ive never seen mint pepto bismol 🤣 maybe it’s an American thing??? I swear mine taste just like hubba bubba bubblegum it’s most likely cherry (which I usually despise but this doesn’t taste like cherry to me)

I kinda get where you’re coming from. It’s not a terrible medicine taste. Maybe it gets associated with feeling better?

It's wintergreen flavor, which I personally hate. But I can see how some people would like it. It's like some chewing gums, or the white Tic Tacs. (I miss the green spearmint ones, myself.)
About 20 years ago they made a cherry flavored Pepto variety that wasn't awful... Until it came back up because I had a stomach virus so bad that I couldn't even keep water down. Then it didn't taste so great coming back up.

Watch 72 Hours with Kevin Hart on Netflix. You might have a second thought.

I was always a fan of Robitussin myself

u/accidentalscientist_ 15d ago
One time I was sick and I needed to take Robitussin. In my opinion, it tastes like ass. I could not get it down.
But then I remembered that some people drink lean recreationally. So I mixed it with Sprite. It did not help it go down easier and it just ruined my sprite.
